My Project

Help me put together an inviting classroom with a reading nook, enrichment activities, prizes to earn, and a place to take a break! When students have a comfortable place to come and learn, they are more likely to stay engaged and on task. This project will help my current and future students feel like our classroom is an extension of their home.

Improving our classroom will help support the needs of my students.

I believe that our students deserve the most inclusive community possible, and by adding special spaces to our classroom, we can achieve the most inviting environment.
